Prescription medications, also sometimes referred to as Rx drugs for short, are substances that are typically only to be taken under doctor’s order.  One of the most abused categories of Rx drugs in recent years has been in the opioid category.  The large uptick in prescription opioid abuse has prompted both municipalities and healthcare agencies, including drug rehab organizations, to take action.

At Muse, that has meant exploring new treatment options in both our inpatient and outpatient settings.  Like almost any substance, addiction to opioids can cause physical, mental, and emotional damage to an individual and at Muse, we have made sure we are prepared to help our clients heal in every way possible.  Only by addressing issues caused by drug abuse or addiction in all areas of a person’s life can they truly move forward.

Substances in the opioid category are a class of drugs naturally found in the opium poppy plant. They are used for a variety of legitimate reasons, most commonly for the relief of pain.  There are many opioids that are used in prescription medications. There are also street drugs, such as heroin, in this category. 

One issue that has occurred across the United States is people switching back and forth between prescription opioids and heroin, depending on what is more readily available.  This has led to an increase in the heroin trade, too. Many prescription opioids are used to block pain signals between the brain and the body.  In addition to controlling pain, opioids can make some people feel relaxed, happy, or “high,” and are very addictive.

When a person is addicted to opioids, they almost always need to go through drug detox before they can begin rehab.  Once this is accomplished, opioid abuse patients take part in both group and one on one therapy sessions.  People recovering from opioid addiction can often have withdrawal symptoms and cravings much longer than individuals being treated for other substances. 

Our team of professionals is always sure to closely monitor opioid patients during detox and rehab to ensure they are not being severely affected by their abstinence from their substance of choice. 

When a person begins Rx rehab, they are assigned a primary therapist who is in charge of creating their care plan and monitoring their progress.  On a daily basis during residential Rx rehab, patients can expect to go about their day based on a structured schedule.  Patients have their vitals checked, are administered any medications that are part of their treatment, attend group therapy and individual sessions, and eat meals on a regular schedule.  This structure allows patience to fully focus on their drug rehab treatment.  Our medical and support staff is always available to assist our patients in any way they need.

At Muse, clients that are taking part in Rx rehab are often treated in both our inpatient and outpatient environments.  After drug detox, patients who take advantage of our residential treatment program may be with us for 30, 60, or 90 days.  Once a patient completes a residential treatment program, we strongly suggest they follow this up with outpatient care.  Outpatient rehab therapy can last from a few months to over a year.  Rx drug rehab therapy is meant to assist our clients in becoming comfortable in society while living their new, drug-free lifestyle.  At Muse, we don’t like to put a timeline on this as every patient heals at their own pace.

Prescription drug abuse has exploded across the United States and many drugs in the opioid pain reliever category top the list.  Among those that are most often used are hydrocodone (marketed as Vicodin) oxycodone (marketed as OxyContin and Percocet), oxymorphone (marketed as Opana), morphine (marketed as Kadian and Avinza), codeine, and fentanyl.  Other categories of prescription drugs are also abused and Muse has treatment options for patients who are struggling with these substances, too.  They include Amphetamines, Benzodiazepines, and Barbiturates among other substances.
